Question

Custom frame rate?

I am trying to acheive a stop motion like effect on my videos. I have right clicked on my sequence, selected sequence settings, changed editing mode to "custom", and then get a wider range of frames per second (10fps-60fps). But I need a lower fps than 10 to get a better looking stop motion effect. Possibly 6fps? I have tried right clicking footage, modify, interpret footage and then "assuming frame rate" but that gives a slow motion effect. This is in Premiere pro CC by the way. Thanks

If you want to make a stop motion video with 6 fps;

1. Set a timebase in multiples of 6 fps (for e.g: 30 fps)

2. Edit > Preferences > Timeline > Still Image Defult Duration > set as 5 Frames (because 30/6=5)

Now, every 6 photos takes 1 second

Formula:

Still Image Defult Duration = Timebase / you want

    Besides just achieving an effect look on your footage you can actually input custom framerates, but only if you have the AfterCodecs plugin as you can see in this article here by its developers: http://www.autokroma.com/blog/How-to-Export-Custom-Framerates-PPro-AME/

    It is a neat solution for filling gaps on the Adobe's built in exporters.

    Hope this helps!

    I have a similar problem. For cutting an old silent movieI'd need to create a sequence with a framerate of 20 or 16 frames per second (as used in old 16mm cameras). Is there any possibility? Will Adobe do some implementation of this in future or do you know any workaround?

    Many thanks!!

    Same answer. Look under Effects > Time > Posterize Time

    Apply the effect to the clip in the timeline, double-click the clip in the timeline to open in Source, go to Effects Controls and adjust Frame Rate as desired.

    Why the TIFF sequence? Are you going back film with the edit sequence? I'm just trying to get a better handle of what you plan to do after export in order to make better recommendations. FWIW, TIFF sequence export doesn't include audio, anyway, so I presume you'd be synchronizing the picture and sound elsewhere later on.

    Regarding other export frame rates, that's certainly not a common request, but the only way we hear them is if they're filed here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form


    @Qengineering: Now I understand! You're great, it's really working to

    create a 16 fps sequence.

    @Colin: Exactly, the tiffs or dpx sequence is a common standard for the

    archiving master, of which we also create the DCP.

    I found out that it is working by sending the sequence to Speedgrade or

    Aftereffects where I can enter a custom frame rate and export it,

    keeping this framerate, as image sequences or ProRes. But it's taking

    half of a day for only 30mins of footage...

    So, why not being consistent and keeping this option in all the elements

    of the creative suite? It would be really making the life easier if 16

    fps, 18 fps (both used a lot with old 16mm silent films or digitalized

    amateur film footage), 48fps would be part of the options directly in

    the export of Premiere (eg. instead of the much more uncommon 15 fps or

    8fps...;).

    Thanks for the link, I'll report this.

    And thanks for your help!!

      Change the clip within a normal framerate sequence to achieve this "effect".

      There is an effect 'Posterise Time' ( IIRC)  that may suit you.
